Ginuwine says he wasn’t on drugs, it was an energy drink that made him act out of sorts

Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank, aka the new group TGT, made a public appearance the other day to promote their new album with an interview and a live performance of their single “I Need.” Ginuwine seemed completely out of it, as the video below can confirm.

While TGT was still performing, people had already started talking on social media about whether he wasn’t under the influence of a drug or alcohol, because he certainly acted as if he was not himself.

In fact, as you can see in the video, he barely managed to sing with the other guys, and would often stare at a fixed point.

He says he wasn’t high, he was just tired.

“Aye, man. It was six o'clock in the morning and I popped something but it wasn't no damn molly [a term used for ecstasy]! I popped a damn 5-hour Energy drink and I didn't think it would do that to me,” Ginuwine has said after the performance, as reported by E! News.

He sticks to his story in his most recent tweets as well, as also do Tyrese and Tank, even though Tyrese actually admitted after the performance that he was mad at how Ginuwine acted.

“Obviously I need eye drops lololol. Ohhhh wweeee lololol... I need to take two more since I'm poppn now lololololololol what insanity... I'm going to always perform in the morning so I can blink blink blink blink blink,” Ginuwine says on Twitter.

“Sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself own it just to let yah know tho thts never been in my life so form what ever opinion u hav GROWN,” he adds.

Even with this explanation, not many are convinced that what they saw were the effects of an energy drink and the lack of eye drops.

See for yourself.
